The Motor Boys Over the Ocean; Or, A Marvelous Rescue in Mid-Air
by Clarence Young
The Motor Boys were the heroes of a popular series of adventure books for boys at the turn of the 20th century issued by the Stratemeyer Syndicate under the pseudonym of Clarence Young. This series was published by Cupples & Leon and was issued with dustjackets and glossy frontispiece. Howard Garis (author of the Uncle Wiggly stories) wrote many, if not all, of these stories. NOTE: The name of their boat ( Dartaway) is also the name of the plane mentioned in The Rover Boys In The Air (1912).
